Controversy about Robert Kennedy's clothing removed from exhibit - Broadway To Vegas column February 28, 2010

http://www.broadwaytovegas.com/February28,2010.html

Was this controversy orchestrated by NBC? As a fan of murder cases, I was surprised to learn of this exhibit. In researching around, your Broadway To Vegas interview with Det. Dennis Kilcoyne was the first to quote him about any possible controversy with exhibiting the Robert F. Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe artifacts. Your article quotes Det. Kilcoyne saying they had to garner "the cooperation of the Superior Court in LA County and the LA County District Attorney's office" before those articles could be displayed. Your byline says February 28, 2010. Kilcoyne is also quoted as saying "The Today Show" interview would be taped on Monday (March 1 ) for airing on Tuesday (March 2). It was only a few hours after "The Today Show" ended that the controversy started. It takes more than a few hours to get a good fight going with the press ready to cover the details. Did "The Today Show" contact the Kennedy family on Monday, a day before they aired their own interview?
